To speak like a colegiala about it, what ba is alipunga?
It is a kind of eczema frequently heard in commercials, advertising over-the-counter medicines to cure the skin disease.
Alipunga is really a viral infection that may be transmitted through contaminated floors, towels, and clothing.
There are natural cures available, such as soaking one’s feet in a basin filled with a mixture of white vinegar and lukewarm water.
Surprisingly, a plant close to the name of this disease is another solution to the problem. We call it alipung.

Ponso: Totoo ba iyon? Paano kung ang talampakan ko ang makati?
Lumen: Simple lang. Ibig sabihin mayroon kang alipunga.
